Karen Laurence-Rowe was born in Uganda – daughter to a civil engineer. Her family lived a nomadic existence spending much of their time in some of East Africa's most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes – teaming with wildlife and dramatic scenery.
"The beauty of Africa is ingrained in my blood – I love its untamed and often harsh beauty – its unpredictability. Africa is changing so fast – we are losing so much, I feel compelled to get it down – now – before it is lost forever."
Karen is a self taught painter and although studied Graphic Design and worked in Advertising for some years, in time, she began to explore the joy of Fine Art and has slowly developed a style which is fast becoming popular to her clients at home in Kenya and in the British and American Markets.
